Loved until I didn’t
I have been using this app for a many years. However, I pay extra to make my calendar look how I want it and buy stuff from the store, all to not be able to see it in the widget. It use to mirror your exact calendar display in the widget, however it doesn’t anymore but advertises it when you buy something from the store. I am not paying the yearly subscription anymore for this reason. Please fix this!!!
Please bring the old widget style back!
I really hate the new style of the widget with two weeks. I liked the original widget with only one week so i could see all the blocks for each day. With the new version, i am able to see only one block per day and it’s terrible! Please bring it back.
갈수록 별로
2016년부터 쓰고 있는 이용자입니다. 어째 업데이트를 할수록 불편해집니다. 색깔 지정, to do list 만들기 같은 기능을 프리미엄 한정으로 지정하는 건 납득 가능합니다. 그러나 쓸데 없는 홈 화면 AI 도입해놓고는, 유료 이용자가 아니면 첫 화면을 캘린더로 보지 못하게 막아놓는건 기분이 나쁠 지경입니다. 개발자님이라면 캘린더 어플에 굳이 할일 요약 기능을 쓰시겠나요? 이용자의 편의를 위하는 척, 무료 이용자를 불편하게 만들어 과금을 유도하는 모습으로밖에 안 보입니다.
Schedule app without SCHEDULE
I can't see my schedule since I get in to the app. None of it. I already organized my schedule for upcoming 2-3 months, but I can't see any of them even past¤t months' schedule. I can see them only in widget mode. I can't do anything, since all schedules are invisable in the app. I already sent an email to their support team few months ago, but they still didn't fixed it. It's not just me having this problem with this app. Where's the POINT that I'm using the calender/scheduling app?

Great Response from the Developers
Update on the update: Being forced to pay for features that used to be free is a huge disappointment, especially since the app can be buggy. I’ll go elsewhere.
Updated review: A recent update made the To Do list feature unusable. After I would add something to my list, it didn’t appear unless I closed out the app and opened it again. Also, it didn’t move completed projects to the bottom of my list, unless I closed out and opened the app again. The developers responded to my initial 1 star review, stating they identified the issue and would fix it. True to their word, the recent update fixed the glitch. I use this app all the time and would be lost without it. Thank you for such a great response!

Being forced to pay
Update
I didn’t receive any reminders that I should have received in the past few days. Then I realize it’s because they have made calendar sync a premium feature. I used to use this app to manage multiple calendars at one place. Since I was not on premium, I lost access to my events in the app. This just silently happened without any beforehand reminder!!! I understand that you want to make money somewhere, but it is just terrific how you are handling this. Also, I can pay a one-time fee but I won’t accept paying monthly forever. I’ll leave this app.
=============
Best calendar app I've ever used. Love their UI. Very easy to use. Widget is very clear. Really love their cute themes and stickers. Hope you can add cute fonts for Chinese and release more themes. I really like to change my themes frequently. Updates 01/22/2021 I used to be a heavy user of this app but I really disliked the recent update. There is a lot of ads and too many functions I don’t need. Also there is a lot of ads. Considering the help from this app in my daily life, I’m willing to pay a one-time $20 for an ad-free version, but I don’t want to enroll in yearly premium for a bunch of functions (like habits) I don’t use at all.

Worse update
The latest update changed all the block colors to blue. It’s not as user-friendly and found it difficult to change each block’s color. I’ve been using this app for years as my main planner and reconsidering going back to paper planners after this update.
Disappointed
I was so excited to try this out but I can’t even get into the app when I try to sign up. I was expecting this to be really good and useful but now I’m just frustrated that it won’t work.
Lost my entire schedule!!
The new update ruined my calendar! I just opened the calendar on my android phone to sync it with my iPhone calendar and it deleted everything I had on my iPhone, which was my updated calendar, and replaced it with my old information from my android. Now I have no way to retrieve everything. I guess it’s my fault for not writing everything down on a paper calendar too but this is the first time this happened to me since using this app for over 2 years. And I’m a premium user.
버그 너무 많음.......
아니 왜 업데이트만 하면 자꾸 전월 일정이 안보이는거죠?;;;;;;

업데이트 할때마다 삭제했다가 다시 다운받아야하나요;;;
이럴거면 업데이트 하지마세요

Unconnected with iPad
Well connecting with iphone but unconnected with iPad.
Plz fix this error
아이폰에서는 잘 되는데 아이패드와 연결이 갑자기 안되기 시작합니다.
6월부터 이 문제가 시작되었던 듯 하네요

유료프리미엄 사용자인데, 갑자기 스케줄이 다 사라졌습니다. 해결부탁드립니다
All my information got deleted.
I have been using this app for a couple months, all of a sudden all my information is deleted. When signing in, it says “account not found” but I am able to reset my password through the forget password option. I have paid premium for this app and am very upset and disappointed that everything I’ve put in it has just magically disappeared. I want my money back!!!!
What happened?
This was working 2hours ago. I try to enter something now and all of my data is gone??? Help!!!
Deleted mine and all my friends calendars
Can someone please fix this? Mine and two of my friends who use this app had their entire calendars erased. Don’t use this app if you want to be able to rely on a calendar!
ERRORRRRRRR
When app is open, it is closed.
I can’t use it.
Fix plz!!!
I can’t use it.
Fix plz!!!
Please fix the error
When app is opened, it is just closed. Cant access to my schdule. Please update it!
Future Months
Why won’t it let you go to future months? Please, just keep this simple! We don’t need extra bells and whistles!
So I can’t install
The widget??? It says for only iOS 8+ and up. I’m way past 8
This update made me to delete this app
This app was the one of my best app ever since latest update. Please get back to original user friendly app.
Was 5 stars, now 1
I used to LOVE this app! Better than Google Cal and iPhone cal! But with the latest update, there are glitches left and right. It’s way less user friendly! Please make changes to get back to the older version, it was near perfect as it was! I deleted the app and maybe in a few months I’ll try again but maybe there’s something similar out there....
BAD UPGRADE!
This upgrade is so bad!
I want to downgrade.. this version is so dizzy. Change so classic, Please.
I want to downgrade.. this version is so dizzy. Change so classic, Please.
Total crap!!!
This app was perfect until the latest update. It messed up everything! My life is in this calendar and now it is all messed up. It added every entry a day either before or after the day i put it in for. And it is random of where it adds the day. It messed up all of my colors as well. Please put it back. I don’t know how to fix all of this. I think I need to find a new calendar.
Urgent
Suddenly it doesn’t open. Whenever I try to open it, it opens for a sec and crashes. It’s been several hours that I can’t open the app even after rebooting my phone for many times. What can I do? How can I transfer my saved items?
Fk
Fk it tells me to go to market for a mandatory update and when it automatically directs to the app store, there is no such updates available out there. The fk should i do? Nonsense.
The todo function changed
So disappointed and frustrated right now! I loved how in the previous version you can set todos over a long period of time. It is the main reason I use this app. It is perfect because it can remind you to do that thing everyday but also show the due date. However, the new version has taken away that function and the todos only show on the due date. Please bring that function back! I really need it!
Coerces you to buy advanced features
This app was great until it tried to coerce me to buy advanced features which were already unlocked in the free version. I understand the need to ask for compensation but not like that. Dont download. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere.
Difficult to reach support
Over a week and still no answer to any support submissions on their website and app
Garbage- can’t timeblock habits?
As the title says, I have recurring habits that I’d like to add to my schedule. It has a whole tab for habits and yet they just become a tick mark for you to check each day. Sooo if I want to timeblock my habits I’d have to use the todo list. Lame.
Would be a great app if they fix stuff
No support with getting Apple calendar to link. Says create app specific password and loop
Background
I had this app on Android for FREE! It was free and I could have chosen from verity of themes for my background. It was very appealing to use daily.
Now that I am using it on Apple I can not believe I had to pay for the app in order to to ‘To Do’ list and have a darker background.
Android - Free, has a lots of background choices and has premium perks
Apple - has only few backgrounds(each has to be purchased) and you have to pay in order to fully use it’s daily task perks

Not worth it 버그가 왜케 많아요
Bugs everywhere, not well synced with web, UI has bugs too. 웹버전은 구글캘린더랑 연동도 안되고 (커넥트 누르면 흰 화면만 뜸) 이럴거면 연동기능용으로 돈 왜 받으시나용?
버그가 너무 많아 결국 못씀…
너무 맘에 들어서 프리미엄 가입했는데, 버그 천국이다. 아이클라우드 동화도 너무 불안정해서 계속 이전 데이터로 초기화 싹 됨. 재입력을 한 5번 하다가 아이클라우드 동기화까지 포기하고 사용을 시도해보았으나 위젯 갑자기 안 됨…
전 여기까지입니다. 어떻게든 대체품 찾아 쓰겠습니다.

위젯 업데이트
진짜 유용하게 쓰고 있는데요
어플에서 수정하면 위젯 업데이트가 안 돼요
그래서 위젯 삭제했다가 다시 위젯 설정했는데
그냥 까맣게 뜨거든요
어떻게 해야하죠

Crashes Often
I really enjoy using this app, but recently it’s been shutting down every time I try to open it. I would re-install it a few times in the hopes that it would work but it still crashes regardless.
업데이트후 폰트가
업데이트 후에 폰트 변경하니까 깨지네요.... 빨리 오류 조치해주세요!

Used to be perfect :(
I used to LOVE this app. I could schedule multiple alarms for things, and be reminded a day in advance, which is needed when you have three school aged kids. The recent update made it so much less useful for me!! You can only have one alarm, and the earliest you can set it for is 30 minutes ahead of time. If I forget about an appointment, I need more than 30 minutes to get ready and go to it! Total deal breaker. I’m looking for a replacement. If they ever roll back to last update, I’d give it 5 stars again.
쓰기좋았는데..

Was my Holy Grail all, now terrible
I used to be obsessed with this app. Way better than standard iPhone calendar as you could see your events and color code. Now every time I open this app it will change all of my events to one color. So aggravating having to go in and change back to normal, only for it not to work.
